Task Status Validation on Multi-Select fields

I'm looking for validation rule to prevent two Multi-Select fields (Accomplished__c & Next_Steps__c) from being populated unless the Task staus is set to "Completed". This is how far I have gotten but not sure how to indicate the two multi-select fields need to be blank or if my current logic is correct so far.

AND(
NOT(ISPICKVAL(Status,"Completed")),

I am not sure whether this will work. You can give a try

Unfortnuately, no. I get the following error Field Accomplished__c is a multi-select picklist field. Multi-select picklist fields are only supported in certain functions
